Abstract: The invention relates to a system to activate 4D effects for occupants in seats, including a thermal camera to capture a thermal image of the 4D seats, and a server to determine the occupancy of the 4D seats from the thermal image and to control the 4D seats. It also relates to a method of activate 4D effects based on seat occupancy, including receiving a baseline thermal image of seats, defining a bounding box in the baseline thermal image of the seats, storing the bounding box and the baseline thermal image, acquiring an occupancy thermal image of the seats, removing the baseline thermal image from the occupancy thermal image, locating people in the occupancy thermal image, determining occupancy of the seats, and activating the effects based on seat occupancy.

Abstract: The present invention relates to systems and methods of delivering fluid from one or more armrests of seat systems. In a feature, the system includes a seat support assembly with armrests with one or more fluid nozzles mounted on one or more of the armrests, a fluid delivery system coupled to the one or more fluid nozzle(s), wherein the fluid nozzles are mounted on an end of the armrest that slopes upward to direct fluid toward the viewer. In another feature, the system includes a seat support assembly with air outlet(s) on an armrest coupled to a fan, which reduces the load on the fluid delivery system. In another feature, the system includes a controller (e.g., a network server) configured to communicate on and off commands that correspond to events on a timeline of a movie to actuate the fluid delivery system to deliver fluids to the outlets.

Abstract: Motion seat systems and methods of powering motion seating are described. A modular design allows configurations as to the number and arrangement of seats, and provides each person on a seat with the same motion such as pitch and/or roll. The seats can be coupled together. Each seat has one or more rotary shafts that pass under or through the seat. One or more rotating shafts cause each seat to pitch and roll according to the position of the shaft(s). The shaft of a master seat is rotatably coupled to the shaft of one or more slave seats to transfer the motion to the slave seat(s).
